Re: [Gems-users] Regd using externally declared enumerations in the slicc files

[Mike Marty <mikem@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think you will need to declare an enumeration in Slicc itself.  There
are a bunch of enumerations defined in RubySlicc_Exports.sm.  These will
generation a .h file that can be used by both Slicc and Ruby.  If you need
to use the enums defined in  your .h file, you can create a one-to-one
mapping function.
